"For my first son, I was an adequate parent. My relationship with Jaden improved slightly. With Willow, I gained my sea legs.
When we attempt to force our children to do and comprehend things that we did not do and did not understand, they see through the nonsense. And respect is lost.'I found a place with my children where I could say, "I don't know," and "Let's sort it out together. Let's find out together, but remember that we're a team." ‘

Smith discussed his struggle to 'connect and adore deeply' and how his relationship with Willow helped to open his senses. I suppose I observed a lack in my capacity to communicate and love on a profound level. I first observed it with Willow. Willow was the one who stated, "Daddy, you're not."
I realized I wasn't as skilled at connecting with and loving others. I could supply – I'll outline it, that's the simple part. But in those instances when my children reached out to me, I lacked the substance they were seeking. Willow, whose breakthrough single Whip My Hair catapulted her to prominence at age ten as the daughter of Will Smith, has not always had it easy. In 2011, while substituting for Justin Bieber on his world tour, Willow strolled off stage and told her father, 'I'm done, Daddy. I'm Eager to Return Home'
Will wished for his pre-teen sensation to continue performing and fulfill her obligations, as she was scheduled to open for Justin Bieber in Australia. Willow shaved her skull in defiance of her renown, a moment described by Smith in his 2021 autobiography Will. He wrote, "My jaw nearly dislocated, dislodged, and shattered on the kitchen floor: my future world-ruling, hair-whipping, global superstar was completely bald." Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have announced a fourth installment in the 'Bad Boys' franchise. Parenting prime time: Last December, Will told People, "This has arguably been the most rewarding time of my fatherhood." "I was an adequate parent to my first son." I made some progress with Jaden. I gained my sea legs while sailing with Willow.
All-inclusive love: Willow told The Guardian a year ago, "I've always known I was different from my parents." She continued by stating, "I love my dad" in response to a question regarding her father's outburst at the Oscars. I adore pretty much everyone I've ever met...'In an interview with The Guardian last year, Willow characterized a period of her life in which she had 'no control,' which she deemed 'not acceptable' She elaborated, "I felt so helpless." But because I was so immature, I did not have sufficient experience for people to trust my opinions. So I stated, "I can't do this." ‘Last year's episode of Red Table Talk featured Jada discussing Willow's parents' shortcomings with regard to her upbringing.
Jada stated that she 'had a really difficult time relating' to her daughter's anxiety because she 'didn't know what it was like to be a child under bright lighting.' Willow told The Guardian, "I've always known that I'm different from my parents," before evading a query about her father's Oscars meltdown. She stated, "I love my dad" and went on to say, "I pretty much love everyone I've ever met." Humans are complex and gorgeous beings who deserve to be creative and cherished...'Willow further described her parents as her 'best companions' and 'amazing individuals.'
My parents are my closest companions. They are both exceptional individuals. I adore Will and Jada not because they are my parents, but because they have their own beautiful, complex, and remarkable minds and souls.
In addition to Willow, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star has two sons: 24-year-old Jaden Smith (center) with Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, and 30-year-old Trey Smith (far left) with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
